Events

Architectural paint regulations and labeling programs for volatile organic content (VOC) and emissions are constantly evolving. This webinar is designed to explain current and upcoming regulation changes in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

Broadcasting LIVE from the Powder Coating Summit, the fundamentals of FEVE resin technology will be discussed. FEVE resins are alternating copolymers of fluoroethylene and vinyl ether units. The vinyl ether component allows for the incorporation of functionality including hydroxyl function group, which can be reacted with polyisocyanate crosslinkers. The resulting crosslinked films have excellent weathering, corrosion, and chemical resistance. Powder coating formulations based on FEVE reins pass AAMA 2605.
